Had to do some research to find out where the he*l Kelowna is. (British Columbia.) There are very few ‘reporters’ these days who know the first rule of writing a story: The four W's.

Half the stories printed today leave at least one of these out.

In this case, location makes a big difference as there are coyotes and then there are COYOTES.

In California and nearby states, for example, the coyotes are about the size of a fox. Back here in New England, and eastern Canada, they are also called ‘brush wolves’ and are closer to wolf size.

And they are NOT something you want to go chasing after. In this case, a lone coyote being suddenly startled by the unexpected ‘attack’ made the quick decision to vamoose. Lucky lady.

The most often travel in packs or at least 2 or 3 together. In that case, such an impulsive action could’ve turned out very different.

they run in packs through my woods, running deer and there are a couple places nearby that I won't go off into the woods alone - or with my little dog! I had a hair raising experience that taught me the better part of future caution.

In the south east the ones I have seen are about two thirds the size of a German Sheppard, was tracking one in my scope while deer hunting, he was dog trotting about 200 yards out, I pull down on him and hit a dang little tree limb about twenty feet before him, his lucky day.

Sorry to correct you but there are 5 W’s. Who, what, when, where and why.
